All legwear in the Vaeon range uses 190g Ceylon Lycra fabric produced in Italy. This durable performance stretch fabric provides compression and breathability. The 80/20 Nylon/Elastane composition gives the fabric a great hand-feel, and the high quality production ensures that the form-fit characteristic will last the test of time. This fabric is NOT brushed or fleeced (Roubaix) making it suitable for cool Autumn rides, where longs are preferable to shorts, and Roubaix is not necessary. This fabric is suited for Autumn UK conditions (12-18deg Celsius) depending on ride intensity).

Unpadded tights are a good solution for riders who choose to wear this garment as an extra layer over the top of a pair of padded shorts or bibshorts to boost warmth.

The anatomical form-fit patterning is designed to give maximum freedom of movement and comfort.

The CyTech Performance chamois (padded insert) is our first level of protection and provides comfort in the saddle for shorter rides up to approx 2 hours, making Vaeon ideal for shorter training rides. The chamois contact fabric face uses CyTech’s patented ‘Elastic Interface’ fabric, which is designed to endure continual, flex and stress without causing chafing.

Leg openings have elasticated hems with clear silicone grippers. This helps to ensure that the leg stays in place and does not ride upwards.

Reflective detailing strips on the thighs and rear ankles, as well as 2 reflective logos on the garment help to improve your road visibility when riding in reduced light conditions.

About
Cycling Tights

Winter cycling tights, also known as 'longs' are the best way to keep your leg muscles warm when the weather turns cold. Fleecy backed fabrics are comfortable next to your skin and help retain warmth, even when they're wet. Look for double-layer knees to keep your joints protected. Calf-length tights, also known as 'knickers' are great for days when it's not too cold but you want to keep your knees warm.

Average quality
Average quality. Sizing was large, though the overall feel when worn is good. Came apart and the seams on the legs after a bit of wear.

just the job.
A good fit, However i am 5ft 3, 30" leg length i think you could only be max of 5ft 7 though before these were too short for you.
A nice warm inside not the thickest but its def enough on frosty rides or runs unless its in the sub zeros then would recommend some warmer ones, will be great for Autum and mild winters.

Absolutely fine
Do what they expect, one tiny caveat is you need to wear your socks higher than the ankle cuffs as they are a bit scratchy, other than this, an excellent, quality product, thanks

Generally a good product but could be improved
The legs fitted well and the ankle zips make it easy to get these on and off. However I felt that the body part was not particularly well fitted at the front as it's quite low. The back has a higher fit to accommodate leaning over on the bike and this fits well. A bit more depth to the front would make this product much better. Saying that I continue to wear these as the warmth of then is ideal for all but very cold conditions.

Product Q & A

Ask your questions and share your answers.

The description states elastic and silicone gripper at ankles, no zips mentioned. But a couple of the reviews mention ankle zips. Can you therefore please confirm or tell me which of the dhb tights do not have ankle zips
